Multi-scale Structure Formation and Dynamics in Cosmic Plasmas / Space Sciences Series of ISSI Bd.51 (PDF)

Prof. Andé Balogh is Distinguished Research Fellow and Emeritus Professor of Space Physics at Imperial College, London and the past Director of the International Space Science Institute of Bern, Switzerland. His main research interests are solar and heliospheric magnetic fields, solar activity phenomena and the nature of heliospheric turbulence. Prof. Balogh has been a Principal Investigator on the Ulysses and Cluster space missions and is author and co-author of over 500 scientific papers on solar physics, space research and planetary physics; as well as editor of ten books, including eight volumes in Springer's Space Sciences Series of ISSI. His recent research has covered the measurements of the Sun's magnetic flux and its dependence on the solar activity cycle.
Andrei Bykov is head of the High Energy
Astrophysics laboratory in the Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology, Russian Academy
of Sciences and professor of St.Petersburg State Politechnical
University. His principal research interests are
theory and observations of processes in astrophysical objects with extreme energy release - supernovae, gamma-ray
bursts and clusters of galaxies. He is author and coauthor of over 200
scientific publications, a book Turbulence, Current Sheets and Shocks in Cosmic Plasma and editor
of four books on high energy astrophysics.





Jonathan Eastwood is a lecturer in
the Department of Physics at Imperial College London where he is a member of
the Space and Atmospheric Physics research group. He has previously worked at
UC Berkeley and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. In 2012 he was the recipient
of the COSPAR Zeldovich medal (Commission D) in recognition of his research
into the physics of magnetic reconnection and collisionless shocks using
satellite data.
